With the help of Lego sensors and motors through the LabVIEW and NI PCI card

I want to connect a card PCI NI Lego motors and sensors and drive motors and the data of sense using LabView. What card PCI can I use? Thanks for a great site and fantastic community online.

Hi Tom,

Looks like a great app.  NXT with LabVIEW Migration will be a big intermediate step before joining more industrial and better sensors with a PCI, PXI, cDAQ or cRIO.  We have a lot of options when it comes to vision and control and acquisition of movement, and we have dedicated forums for all of these products as well.

  • Any camera regardless of the interface is available for use with the LabView interface.

    Hello

    I intend to go for some CMOS camera,

    but I have a huge doubt before buying, the camera of menttioned above is not anywhere in this list. Nor can I see any type being supported USB device.

    The question is

    1. is a camera regardless of the interface is available for use with the LabView interface?
    2. Can I build a VI to communicate with any device image and recording of camera and take the data?

    Any kind of help or advice is greatly appreciated... I have to buy a CMOS camera and begin to run.

    Thank you...

    Hello Virginia,.

    I am pleased that this information has been useful, one thing I wanted to mention is that USB 3.0 has its own standard USB 3.0 Vision which is currently not supported. If this camera is also Direct Show compatible then you will be able to acquire an image using IMAQdx and manipulate all the attributes that are published to the API Live Show.

    I hope that USB 3.0 Vision will be supported in the near future, and we tentatively announced for this standard of communication for the August 2013 Vision Acquisition Softwareupdate.

    See you soon,.

  • Close a non-LabVIEW with the LabVIEW program?

    I have two programs running on the same computer.  One is a 3rd party software that collects data from a sensor and generates files.  The other is a LabVIEW application that analyzes the files before deleting them.  (The 3rd party software is written in LabVIEW, but closed source).

    I want to stop the 3rd party software automatically whenever my LabVIEW application stops.  If someone stops the LabVIEW application without stopping acquisition of data on the 3rd party software, hard drive fills up with files in one day about.  Not good!

    Is this possible without turning off the computer?

    "kill Task" in command prompt will help you achieve what you want? Use systemexec in LabVIEW to do this. After the back if this is not what you want.

  • Windows 7 hangs with the hardware problem, possibly video card

  • Blocking of blue screen with the analog voltage (WinXP, PCI-6251)

    Hello

    I'm looking to solve a problem of blue screen with my measure blocking
    application, which I am developing with C++. Blocking seems manifest
    a little random after a variable amount (500-50 000) of voltage analog
    measures. My application needs to make a huge amount of these digitally
    trigger voltage measures after a certain period of time, and I'm using a
    unique
    task to do. The task is stopped and started after a single measure
    is
    which is done around 10 000 - 100 000 times per second. For this
    because I do synchronized with the PCI-6251 map data acquisition and
    one
    Ztec oscilloscope card. It seems that the probability of blocking could be
    associated with
    the frequency of measurements of voltage that I perform.

    The
    the app itself is multithreaded, but I'm blocking concurrent access
    TO
    the card with lock - all access to the card are behind a single mutex

    lock, so simultaneous access is blocked. In any case, all data acquisition
    access
    o the map is initially a single thread, which is dedicated to the acquisition of data
    operations.

    I also did stress tests with Ztec scope map, which does not
    result
    in all the problems. I also disabled in order of acquisition of Ztec map data
    TO
    Make sure that it wasn't the card scope, the origin of the problems - the problem
    persistent, so this seems to point towards the direction of the nidaq map.

    The deadlock appeared when I used the original supplied with drivers
    the
    card. I installed the latest drivers (removed the device from)
    ' Windows
    Device Manager and your application Measurement & Automation, reinstalled), but the blue screen still appears.

    Blue screen gives me a few debug data, but it does not mention any

    files .dll or something that would be of course point to a specific file (driver). I enclose at least partially matching code snippets.

  • Mode of double chassis with a C8484 of Hamamatsu-05 and a PCI-1426

    Hello

    I use a hamamatsu camera CCD C8484-05 (http://sales.hamamatsu.com/en/products/system-division/machine-vision/part-c8484-05.php), with a PCI-1426.

    Despite the site NOR say they are compatible, Hamamatsu, tell me that the camera is compatible only with the 1426 to use drivers OR and not the vi Hamamatsu. (http://sales.hamamatsu.com/index.php?id=13200492&language=1&)

    I find the file .icd for C8484-05 on the Web site of NOR, and using IMAQ, I can control most of the settings using the camera fixed attribute vi.

    However, it doesn't seem to be an option to set the mode of double exposure for PIV (i.e. 2 exposure Framework 2 by using double buffering)

    I have to do it manually by using the low-level buffer commands? For a previous camera (IDT X 3), I was able to select this option in their provided VI.

    If so, could you point me in the direction of some good tutorials for using tampons?

    In addition, there is an easy way to get all the options without copying the text in each menu MAX and using several structures of matter?

    Kind regards

    Joe Sherwood

    Find attached the modified version of the. CIM file for this device (C8484 - 05 c). I saved as a txt to allow download the Forum of nor. Simply change .txt to .icd and place in > National Instruments\NI-IMAQ\Data

    This allows dual-mode frame/PIV using "quick repeat mode also affecting all standard features. The polarity of command is defined positive and the first exhibition is 4.5us, while the second is 81.7ms (without binning)

    I hope it's useful.

  • Synchronize the clocks of 2 PCI cards for analog inputs with e/s digital reference

    I'm trying to synchronize the clocks of reference of 2 PCI cards so that the analog inputs are synchronized. However, my appilcation has also digtial e/s on two cards, and who apparently made the mistake DAQmxErrorResourcesInUseForRoute_Routing. This discussion describes a similar problem, but the solution was to just put the reference clock to the slave device, who had no other tasks running on it, so what mine does.

    Is there way I can synchronize the clocks of refernce without interfering with the digital I/o?

    Thank you!

    PS: My application is in C++.

    The reference clock is really a lower-level component that is shared by all resources on a given device.  All tasks on a given device must use the same reference clock.  So if you use DAQmxSetRefClkSrc for a task, you can use it to set the same value for your other tasks.

  • How to display an object mesh continually update with the Labview 3D photo object

    I have a stream of update permanently of 3D images that can be represented in a mesh (a film in 3D if you want). I want to display in the 3D image object so that whenever I acquire a new 3D image that it is displayed. Examples are rare, and I couldn't find anything that dealt with this particular issue.

    Currently (in a FOR/loop WHILE) for each iteration I create an object of the scene, set the geometry as an object mesh newly created, set the texture and it wire eventually to the 3D image. This implementation seems a memory leak (Task Manager shows permanently increases the used memory and processing speed will eventually drop). I guess that's because I recreate the object for each iteration. Problem is, I can't find something that would let me release/delete the object once I'm done with the framework. All the examples I found only deal with the creation of the 3D object once and manipulating.

    What is the appropriate way to code this?

    You just need to use the "narrow" VI on reference photo 3D like this code below. It runs inside the loop.

    Now, if you're dealing with the mesh, then you should use the set the mesh to change the points inside the loop and then just close the reference after the code is done. Look at this code below. The trick is to recover the object using Typecast (to more specific reference VI) reference.

    Also, look at examples of shipping to:

    C:\nivs_dev\2013\InstallTo\ProgramFiles\National Instruments\LabVIEW\examples\picture\3D Picture Control

    and especially the with Meshes.vi.
